The Ties That Bind

AO3

Thanks to everyone for reading. Time for Jamie and Claire to have an honest discussion.

Thanks to @mo-nighean-rouge for the beta.

Warning : Some swearing and NSFW below the cut

Chapter 16: An Uncomfortable Revelation

I do not think I responded immediately, for it took me a moment or two to fully digest these words of Miss Kenton. Moreover, as you might appreciate, their implications were such as to provoke a certain degree of sorrow within me. Indeed- why should I not admit it? - at that moment, my heart was breaking. -Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day

Claire opened her door to find a sweating Jamie leaning against the door frame.

“Claire, Sassenach...” He managed, between gulps of air.

“Oh, god, look at you. Come in, sit down. Have you run all the way from yours?”

Her eyes were immediately drawn to his scraped and bloodied knuckles. She ushered him into the living room and gathered her first aid kit, ready to tend to his injuries.

Jamie tried hard not to wince as the sting of the antiseptic cream hit his hand. Claire gently massaged the cream into his skin with her fingertips. Soothing and relaxing, she held his hand between hers before lifting it to her lips and lightly kissing his palm. His throat tightened, the pain in his knuckles was nothing compared to what he knew he had to do.

“So, can you flex your fingers for me?” In professional mode, Claire took Jamie’s hand through a range of exercises and movements, finally confirming that it was fortunately not broken, merely bruised.

“And how did it happen?” Claire released his hand and sat back.

“I banged it on a tree.”

“Did you lose your balance then? Are you hurt anywhere else?” She scanned his body for further signs of injury.

Jamie shook his head. “Jes’ ma hand. I… I may have punched a tree.”

Claire began to laugh. “Punched a tree? Is this some sort of male testosterone-y thing? You’re never going to…”

She paused as a thought struck her. Her face grew worried. “Geneva. You’ve been to see Geneva. And now you’re in a bad mood. Because you’re going to have to tell me something. That I’m not going to like. Oh, fucking hell, Jamie, you said you weren’t going back to her. How could you say you love…”

Claire stood up, about to move away. Jamie grabbed her waist and pulled her, protesting, back on the sofa beside him.

“Claire, please listen tae me. Aye, something has happened, but…”

Claire struggled to pull away as Jamie’s arms wrapped even more tightly round her.

“Listen, LISTEN, PLEASE.” Jamie’s voice raised, then softened again as Claire relaxed her struggles. “Claire I love ye and only ye. I want us tae have a future together and I have told Geneva that. Ye are my girlfriend and nothing will change the way I feel about ye.”

Jamie could feel the tension in Claire’s body start to disappear. He took her hands in his and looked into her amber eyes, those amazing whisky-coloured eyes, looking right into his with complete trust. She smiled encouragingly.

“I’m listening.”

Jamie took a deep breath and looked down at his hand. “Ye ken I used tae go out wi’ Geneva last year and we met up again at that wedding, where I first saw ye. After that we went out for a couple of drinks but I knew it wasna right, so I ended it, before it had begun really. And most definitely before ye treated Wee Jamie and I asked ye out. She didna take it too well but I hadna heard from her since, until she started callin’ this past week or sae.”

He hesitated and looked up to Claire. Anxiety was etched on her face, her forehead furrowed, her eyes half closed, her teeth gnawed her lower lip. Waiting for the killer punch she knew was to come.

“Why Geneva wanted tae talk tae me is… is… weel,” Jamie stumbled over the words. This was the first time he had had to say them aloud. “She’s pregnant, she’s having a baby and…”

“But you said you knew it wasn’t right between you. You said you only went out for a drink a couple of times. What’s it got to do with you?”

Jamie felt his cheeks burning red hot. Claire pulled her hands out of Jamie’s grasp.

“Ah, I see. You idiot. You fucking great idiot. You knew it wasn’t right between you. You knew she wanted a relationship with you. And yet you still slept with her. Was it that important to get laid? To have a shag? Was the fuck worth it?”

The words of recrimination poured out of Claire, each sentence cruder than the one before, little barbed arrows designed to smart and sting.

Claire’s voice grew hoarse. “How can you have done that? Is it too great a distance for common sense to travel from your brain to your dick? Or is all your thinking done by your dick anyway? Was Geneva just a convenient and willing hole for you to stick your prick in? Is that what I am to you, just another hole for your cock?”

Claire stood and walked to the kitchen. Jamie remained seated, ashamed. She returned with a glass of water, slowly sipping it.

“Talk to me, James Fraser. Explain it to me.” She sounded calmer.

“I’ll tell ye. I’m no’ proud of ma actions, but it wasna all me either. I made no promises tae Geneva, didna lead her on. I dinna ken what went on in her head. But when she asked me tae go tae bed, I did. ‘Twas jes’ the one night and when she asked me again, I said ‘No.’”

Claire sat down next to Jamie, on the edge of the seat, tightly coiled ready to spring up again. Jamie placed his hand on her leg. She let it remain there but didn’t react to its presence. Her eyes were focussed, not on him but over his shoulder, towards her shelves with the twinkling fairy lights. Even without looking at him though, he knew she was listening, processing the information, hopefully giving him a chance to explain. He took a deep breath and continued.

“That’s why she was tryin’ tae get hold of me. Tae tell me. I canna tell ye how much of a shock it was, how much it upset me knowing how I'd have tae make ye feel. And, yes, Geneva did suggest that she and I could make it work. But I told her, I told her straight that I was wi’ ye and that I love ye. And that wasna goin’ tae change, bairn or no. Ye must believe me. I willna lie tae ye. I said I will support her and help, but not wi’ out ye.”

Claire exhaled. Jamie hadn’t realised she had been holding her breath. Still not willing to look at him, she asked shakily, “How do you know she’s pregnant? What if she’s not and it’s a ploy to get you back with her? What if she conveniently fakes a miscarriage and has to rely more and more on your emotional support? She could drag you back into her world. There’d be no room for me. Or what if it’s not your baby? What if she slept with someone else?”

“Nah, I believe her. She’s no’ lyin’.”

An image briefly flashed into his mind of Geneva’s face when he asked about the pill. The unwillingness to make eye contact, the hesitation in her response. He thrust it aside. Now was not the time to dwell on that.

“Nah, ‘tis mine. I’ve nae doubt. The dates...they match”

Claire sat quietly for a moment then gasped as another thought suddenly manifested. “But how… we always use protection. Why didn’t you? Or would it somehow have ruined the moment?” The sarcasm was obvious in her voice.

“D’ye really want tae know these details?”

Claire nodded.

“Weel, when we were together last year, she was on the pill. I asked her, afore… afore we… er, and she told me she was still on it. She now says she got a wee bit of a sickness bug. I suppose the pukin’ would’ve affected it.”

Claire emitted a typically Scottish sound of derision, making her opinion on that very clear. “So what happens now? About the baby, I mean. I assume she’s keeping it.”

“Aye, she is. Weel, I have tae tell Da and Jenny. I’m piss scared o’ Jenny. I’m sure she’ll have ma balls in a vice if she could. I said I would go with Geneva tae the twelve week scan. And then we will have tae figure something out.”

Claire turned and rested her head against Jamie’s chest. He felt her start to shake as her tears mingled with the sweat stains on his running vest. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head.

“Claire, hush, ye are ma love. This willna come between us, I know.”

“But, with me now, it’ll never be the first. Never the first time you hear the heartbeat, or see that blurry image, or hold your baby in your arms. I’ll never have those firsts with you. That’s been taken away from me. They’ll always be reruns.”

“There’ll still be firsts. The first time ye tell me ye’re pregnant and I ken that bairn was conceived in love, the first time I go to sleep wi’ my arms around yer belly feelin’ the kicks within ye. The first time I’m there fer the birth. And even the reruns, as ye call them, will be all the more special because I’m sharing them wi’ ye.”

Claire sat up and wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeve. “I’m sorry. I was getting ahead of myself there, talking about having children with you. We’ve only been together for such a short time, my thoughts there were somewhat premature.”

“Dinna apologise, Sassenach. I have the same dreams, meself, wi’ ye.”

Finally, Claire looked up at Jamie. So many thoughts crowded inside her head, a jumbled seething mass of emotions too complicated to unpick tonight. One stood out, a beacon in this whole mess. Jamie was hers and he loved her. As though seeking affirmation, she brought her hands up to his face, holding him before bringing her mouth to his for a moment then breaking away.

“Jamie, come with me.”

Jamie recognised a note of urgency in Claire's voice.

Claire took Jamie’s hand from her leg, pulling him up and leading him into the bedroom.

She pushed him onto the bed and straddled him, one leg either side of his hips. She pulled at his vest, peeling it off his body and flinging it to the floor. Her fingernails raked down his chest, leaving thin red paths through his ginger hairs, until they reached the waistband of his shorts. Jamie rolled his hips towards her, his arousal clearly defined through the thin material. Claire climbed off him and quickly pulled off his shoes and socks before tugging his shorts down his legs to join his vest on the floor.

Jamie watched as, without any ceremony or teasing routine, Claire quickly removed her shirt and unhooked her bra. He reached out to capture a breast but Claire moved just out of reach. She raised her hips and pulled her yoga pants and knickers down together in one motion. For a moment, she stayed still kneeling next to him, watching as he ran his eyes all over her body. Then swiftly she moved, bringing her mouth to his stomach, biting and nipping around his abdomen, red marks showing the path of her lips and teeth. Her hands cupped his buttocks, pulling his hips closer into her.

Her movements became more frantic as she raised herself up Jamie’s body. Her mouth pressed hard against his, her tongue pushing and probing, before biting his lower lip. Her hands moved through his hair, grabbing it in her fists. Jamie groaned in pleasure as Claire reached for his hand and placed it between her legs.

“Do you want me?” She whispered harshly in his ear, sending shivers down his spine. “Do you want to fuck me?”

“Oh, God, Yes.”

He rolled Claire onto her back, positioning himself between her legs. Stilling himself for a moment, he leaned over and opened the drawer of the bedside table, pulling out a foil packet.

“Do you want tae put it on me?” he asked.

Claire opened her eyes fully and stared at the little square packet. Snatching it from Jamie’s fingers, she threw it across the room.

“Oh yes, have to take precautions. Can’t have any little accidents with your girlfriend, can we? A one-night stand, well, that’s a different matter.”

She pushed him off her and rolled away from him, pulling the cover over her body.

“I think you should go.”

SnK Chapter 95 Poll Results

The chapter 95 poll closed with 1,069 responses. Thank you to everyone for participating. Let’s do this!

RATE THE CHAPTER (1,019 Responses)

75% of respondents had a favorable reaction for “Liars”. Less than 1% expressed extreme dissatisfaction.

I actually loved this chapter! I was kinda meh on the Marley arc at first, but this completely changed my feelings on it!! Seeing everything from the Warriors' perspective is a refreshing change of pace.

Bertolt is the God of Destruction, RBA deserved better, Magath is actually a nice guy, poor Porco has a terrible name and deserves more love

This is the first chapter in the Marley arc I've wholeheartedly enjoyed. I was always looking forward to getting the Warriors' perspective, but the way in which it's been done has been terrible pacing wise, if definitely interesting story-wise; consequently I've had mixed feelings about the recent chapters. But this one managed to really make me feel for the characters and their tragic, terrible circumstances for the first time in awhile.

Good chapter in terms of lore although kinda meh in terms of story development

I liked the chapter, and the Marley thing we are going through, but I would still like to return to the walls

Not the strongest chapter, feels the same kind of "recap-y" that 63 did, but still a solid outing. I'm convinced we're staying in Marley as the main location for the final arc of the series, with the main cast's appearance kicking events into overdrive.

IN A RECENT INTERVIEW, ISAYAMA REFERRED TO MARLEY AS AN “ARC”, NOT A VOLUME. WOULD YOU BE HAPPY IF THE MARLEY PERSPECTIVE CONTINUES FOR AN ENTIRE 16 CHAPTERS? (1,046 Responses)

We are a fandom divided.

I feel guilty about complaining too much but I really am bitter that I have to wait another month to potentially be disappointed again

I'm kinda concerned where the series is going‚ it seems like Isayama's taking it slow as he's running out of time

As much as i am loving all of this marley pov i do crave for just...idk something else. Like don't get me wrong i love finally getting more explorations of Reiner but it would be better to have some variation: like what about bertholht, why is he a warrior?? and annie; is her dad still around?

I can see why Isayama's doing this, but it feels v e r y s l o w.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I kinda miss eren.

HOW MANY MORE CHAPTERS FROM THE MARLEY PERSPECTIVE WOULD YOU WANT TO SEE? (1,043 Responses)

48.6% would like to see the Marley Files end in 1-3 months. 25.8% of the fandom is much more flexible. Judging from the write in comment, trust in Isayama is still high.

I would be happy if Marley took over the whole manga

I want the main cast to reappear, but to see them from the Marley perspective

I would've like to get back to the Walldians by now, but I think I'm good for another chapter or two of the Warriors.

I'd like the perspective to switch between marley and paradis

Depends if Pieck is often seen.

Looking forward to seeing the fall of Shinganshina from the warriors perspective

I'm starting to think Isayama will troll so hard. Marley Arc to the bitter end. Sasuga Isayama.

If this means we're going to remain in Marley for a while, I hope we'll at least get to see something exciting soon, like maybe at the festival. So far we've been getting more information than action, so I'd like to return to that action soon. I also can't wait to learn more about the Tyber family and meet the members.

WHICH STATEMENT MOST CLOSELY MATCHES YOUR FEELINGS FOR THE MARLEY CHAPTERS AS A WHOLE? (1,044 Responses)

Nearly everyone who responded has enjoyed the Marley focus. 39% would be happy with a little more, while 31% liked it but are ready to return to the main cast.

On the negative side, 3.4% said that while it was necessary they didn’t enjoy it. Only .4% said it ruined their enjoyment of the series.

I like the Marleyan perspective, honestly if the rest of the series was like this (with a few chapters focused on the main cast of course) I think that would be great!

I felt the Marley perspective was necessary but I was bored most of the time. And now I'm just desperate to head back to the main cast.

I enjoyed the Marley perspective and I'm fine with more of it but something has to happen because I'm starting to get bored

This series has just been a series of peaks (Piecks?!) and whenever I think that it's surely gotten as good as it can get, they surprise me. The 30 day wait is hellish lately, more so than ever before.

HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT TO RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL CAST ON PARADIS? (1,040 Responses)

While the previous questions have shown we are patient people, a solid 50% would sell their soul, or at least consider it, for a return to the original cast.

Lemme see the main cast again, but keep the best girl

I would still love to know if Jean has grown some ill-adviced facial hair, but I also love the Marley chapters.

I at least want a glimpse of the Walldians post-time skip! I especially want to see Colossal Armin and if amputee-kun is Eren! I'm okay with a couple more chapters in Marley since I trust Isayama that this part of the story will be important (plus the characters are interesting and I enjoy seeing RBA flashbacks), but I just miss the old crew and want to see what they've been up to the past few years!

I feel like in all honesty, I enjoy the Marley perspective but I'd like to see how our 104th cast is doing. I'd really hate for them to do the same thing to Reiner and Co and recreate Shiganshina.

BOI I want to see the original squad again PLEASE

I love the Marley Arc!

Wake me up when the main casts return

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE MOMENT OF THE CHAPTER? (1,038 Responses)

Judging from the write in comments, Pieck is the best girl. 33% of us had a favorite moment that involved her. Seeing the Paradis mission from the perspective of the warriors and the reveal of the Tyber family had 17% and 18% respectively.

tag yourself im zeke being super enthusiastic over pieck

Boooring... except for sasuga pieck. That part made me laugh.

Zeke's subtle way of warning everyone that the room is bugged, and Pieck and Reiner immediatly understanding.

I was excited to learn about the 9th titan, the Tybar family and Zeke praising Pieck. Very heart-broken for Reiner though.

Tired of seeing Marcel get eaten. Its a little repetatitive

HOW MUCH WORSE CAN REINER’S LIFE GET... FROM THE NEW CHAPTERS, WHICH OF THESE IS THE MOST TERRIBLE MOMENT FOR HIM? (1,032 Responses)

Each new event of Reiner's life is like beating a piñata of misery. Everything is terrible and the sadness candy just keeps spilling out. When the piñata is done, they beat Reiner with the bat instead.

Learning of Marcel's lie, immediately followed by Marcel's death, giving him no chance for closure or resolution

Tough one.. but i say his mom's pressure & the conflict of seeing pradise ppl as normal human being & still having to kill them.

I want some form of lasting happiness for Reiner Braun

#ProtectReiner854

Reiner seems to have inherited Ymir's real titan power: the Complex and Depressing Backstory Titan

I would like everyone to hug the shit out of Reigner.

Being Reiner is suffering. Seeing his face the page after his own father refused to acknowledge him as human broke something inside of me. Also Galliard is still a dick but I'm disliking him less.

NEW CHARACTERS MEAN NEW SHIPS. HAVE ANY CAUGHT YOUR INTEREST? (1,040 Responses)

Someone please remind me to never give “Other” as an option for a shipping question :/ I do, however, appreciate that almost 60% of you would like Reiner to have a bit of happiness.

Annie x freedom from her crystal, Pieck x being exactly right, porco x death, Isayama x vague hints, Zeke x tea, Everyone x Happiness (except them motherfucking Marleyans) and my personal notp, Zevi, were a few of the many write in answers.

WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING NEW REVELATION FROM THE CHAPTER? (1,034 Responses)

Last month learning the identity of the 9th titan was high on everyone’s wish this. This month we got it. 52.5% were most happy to learn about Warhammer.

At least we know the 9th titan. Just a decent chapter, Not my favorite of this arc though.

Really enjoyed this chapter, did not expect a mention of the ninth Titan. The montage of the Warriors was really awesome too.

Tybur family's new plot introduction is very intersting! I still think zakrus in pradise is shady as hell.. maybe he'll play a role in pradise fall.. pradise cant be too unified. Marley is not unified either.

I'm so excited to see more of the Tyber family. Their brief scene is drawn in an epic and mysterious fashion - symbols of seashells, flowing robes, a man with a clenched fist and correspondingly flowing golden locks standing before a crowd. I expect them to play a pivotal role in whatever comes.

MAGATH IS SO FAR THE ONLY MARLEYAN WHO HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE WARRIORS AS HUMANS. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT HIM? (1,027 Responses)

Magath is perfectly meh. About 50% of us place him in the dead center between “tiniest gold star ever” and “swell guy.”

Magath is on the Eldians team. He loves and cares about all the Warriors, is possible he loves them as his children...I thought it was cute how he asked them to finish their mission and come home together! Hes like a tsundere "I-Its not like i care about you eldian demons!"

FAVORITE CHARACTER THUS FAR IN THIS ARC? (1,043 Responses)

Reiner wins by a landslide. I think it comes as no surprise to anyone that Pieck has a solid showing with 17%. Zeke came in 3rd with 9.3%

Zeke's unique & bizzarre nature.. immense cruelty + cleverness + immature nature + bizzare obession of games, playing & his twisted concept of fun! This guy is a very interesting mixture indeed.

Pieck is a great new character.

Tbh the series is kind of getting boring but Pieck is Bae

Reiner has become my absolute favorite character in the series.

LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTER THUS FAR IN THIS ARC? (1,029 Responses)

Reiner’s dad edged out his mom for least favorite character, but the real news is that 24% of people hate Gabi and Porco even more than Reiner’s terrible parents.

Can i just pick both of Reiner's parents?

Reiners father and mother are both trash i'm taking him away i'm his mother now.

Asshole marley soldier who made bomb noises @ the disabled soldiers

Karina Braun doesn't deserve the hates she gets, she wasn't tricking Reiner...she legit believed ths they would live with his father one day, she really loves him and you see her pain filled face when Reiner lies and says "It was hell"

I like Porkboi more than I'd like to admit.

If I was the Colossal Titan I would find Reiner's father and flip him what would literally be the biggest middle finger ever.

Can't stand Porco. Won't ever forgive him for Ymir. Won't ever forgive Reiner or Bert for Ymir either tbh

HAS THIS CHAPTER CHANGED YOUR FEELINGS TOWARDS THE WARRIORS (1,023 Responses)

51.2% say yes!

I'm far more sympathetic to them than before, especially Reiner. That poor boy only wanted to have his family together.

Last chapter changed my views about them.

Not much - this is pretty much how I though things would be once we found out about the ghetto and Marley. The only really interesting bits are the new pieces of info, like the Tybur family and the 9th titan.

I've gone from 100% love to 110% love

I feel that this "arc" is being dragged on for the purpose of readers gaining sympathy with them and for me last volume was enough to make us sympathize with them. I have no patience left for this especially when I know the end is closing and there is more to cover and I’m afraid it'll be rushed or that I would lose interest before we reach that part

I feel invested in Porco against my better judgment... and I wonder...if there will ever be a moment when Pieck is not exactly right as expected... :o I wanna see Bertholt's past!!!!!!

RATE EACH WARRIOR IN TERMS OF HOW THIS CHAPTER AFFECTED YOUR PERCEPTIONS OF THEM

The Winners: Reiner - 840 people view him more favorably Pieck - 708 people view her more favorably

The Losers: Gabi - 151 people view her less favorably Porco - 161 people view him less favorably

I love RBA. Zeke is interesting as ever. Falco looks like he'll probably end up being a character I'll end up really liking, but he's not there yet. Don't really care about Pieck currently. Hate Gabi and Galliard.

Pieck is love

I wish we'd met Pieck earlier because she's everything.

porco the best

Bardlot is best girl

WHICH CHARACTERS DO YOU GENERALLY ENJOY THE MOST (1,032 Responses)

Looking back over past polls, support for the 104th has stayed consistent. The real change is with the vets. In early polls, 30-40% of people preferred them. That number has fallen to 12%. I suspect some have left the series or aren’t interested enough in the story direction to take the poll.

WHERE DO YOU PRIMARILY DISCUSS THE SERIES (984 Responses)

Tumblr 364 (37%) Reddit 626 (63.6%) Discord 55 (5.6%) Twitter 12 (1.2%)

FINAL THOUGHTS

There were more than 500 additional write in comments. I wish I could publish them all. Thank you for sharing all your thoughts!

I'm still not over the serumbowl and how much the paradis cast showed they're really no better than the ones they're fighting against, so I'm really happy to see the side that's been less favored by the narration so far. Bless the warriors, they're all full of personality and I already love them.

It was rlly heartbreaking when Marcel tells the truth to Reiner and he deludes himself saying: ""wtf are you talking about Marcel? I WAS CHOSEN BY MARLEY, i don't believe you"".The Armored Titan is the only thing hes got...

Next chapter is a recap of the old arcs with Warrior POV I can bet my seafood on it.

This and chapter 94 have been my favorites so far. Please give me more Reiner, more marley, more warriors, more everything. Isayama I love you.

LOVE THE WARRIORS! On a more serious note, im very curious about zeke and his true motives.. what is he trying to accomplish? I also really wish that his relationship with eren can be expanded on. Zeke told eren that he would save him. Does he to some degree care for eren's own life? Or is he just after eren's powers? Regardless, i find zeke fascinating.

Good but background could have been better incorporated with both sides

I'm loving the Marley arc. We need the other side of the coin and this really shows that evil can be grey. Neither the islanders or Marley-Eldians are really bad...they're just all raised/brain-washed in different settings. I really enjoy the added layers fo Reiner.

These few chapters have been really interesting, but I hope to see our guys back on Paradis, unless Amputee-kun turns out to be Eren and the other Survey Corps have infiltred Marley. Would love for the story to continue from that point of view, but with flashbacks as to what happened in Paradis. Really interesting chapters overall, learning about the 9 titans was really hype.

I hope that Isayama gives us an ending almost as great as ATLA. Each character gets a proper conclusion & the entire story is satisfying. I want AOT to go down as one of the top 10 solid anime/manga of all time. I have faith in Isayama but still the future is unpredictable.

I hope we get to see the attack on Wall Maria from the warriors pov next chapter. And I was disappointed that Amputee guy wasn't in this chapter.

More Marley please. Even if some are salty not to see the Walldians, I think it's very enlightening to see Marley and Warrior perspective on this. As would say Bertolt : "no one is at fault" and, in the same time, each side has their fault.

I've been rocking with this arc and loving it, although I've generally had little complaint with any arc of this series, I love everyone :) But I think some development for my favorite characters and their side of the war is backed up by some subtle set-up for the climax of it all. For all that some people are desperate to see the main cast, I think this kind of exploration is necessary, not just for emotional investment, but because it gives us a look at the world the Walldians are so desperate to get to. It shows that the battle is only just beginning; Marley is not the endgame boss, and in fact it might be the only thing standing in the way of total destruction for all Eldians. How do they deal with that? Seeing that from the Warriors' perspective gives it reality and weight.

I am enjoying the Marley perspective, but I'm having trouble with the pacing. These past 2 chapters are moving so slow. And even though Reiner is my favourite character, I wish we wouldn't have such a huge focus on him chapter after chapter. It's becoming a bit repetitive, and I would rather learn more about the other warriors. I am looking forward to seeing RBA's pov of the attack on Shiganshina however. :)

Shit's heatin' up! Woo!

I am such a fuckin' slut for all the Marley stuff. I have been dying to see everything from the Warriors' perspective since the initial reveal of Marley and honestly I live on the tears of everyone bitching about how there's too much Marley. EMA are pretty much...... the most boring characters in the series so I am livin' this up. Give me more.

MORE MEMES PLEASE (and a bit of main cast too)

can i see more bardlot creating titnas???? please answer this one question!!!!!!!

Waiting for Annie to come back. Any moment now.

It's a good chapter, I'm enjoying seeing the flashbacks and the distinction of the Titan powers. On a smaller note regarding that, I wish they'd tell us what makes the Female Titan "female."

Very good chapter, but it feels like one that's setting up for the rest of the volume. I'm looking forward to this festival as well as getting even more details about the warriors' mission on Paradis

Headbutt of Love copyright Isayama

A relatively good chapter, but I reallllllly want to see the main cast again. It doesn't have to be from their perspective, but I just want to see them again after a 4 year time skip.

We will most certainly remain on Marley, but the perspective will soon shift to the main cast when the rest of them arrive to backup Eren and trash the festival in which the Tieber family will present the plan to capture the Founding Titan.

I can see why Reiner had all that plot armour now! Learning more about the warriors (RBA etc, not the new kids :/) has been really interesting and a much needed flesh out of their characters.

I enjoy seeing more of Reiner (cause he's da best) and learning more about his past and the world outside the walls. I would love to see him decide that he's done with Marley and doing things against his moral code (cause let's be real he probably is totally against this shitshow). I know he'll die and that makes me sad so I'm trying to enjoy whatever time we have left with him. ;_;

No doubt next chapter will show the Wall Maria breach from the Warriors' perspective. I only wonder how much of the flashback will be shown in a single chapter.

I hope we get more backstory on Zeke. There's still so much about him that's mysterious. More of him interacting with the other warriors is always good. I really really REALLY need to know what his thoughts on Eren are. Does he still plan on "saving" him, whatever that may mean? And how much does Pieck know?

When will we see giant naked people punch each other again?

I feel sorry for all the warriors but they killed so many people that I cannot see them as pure cinnamon rolls that need to be protected, for me they will always be morally grey.

I love that we are finally getting details about the warriors. This was something long in the making. I can understand where fans of the main cast are coming from, but you just have to have patience until we see the main cast again. For a story like Attack on Titan, which is supposed to be morally grey, we have to have insight on both sides of the conflict. It would have been extremely stupid if Isayama never delved into the warriors background after all the stuff that they had did. The timing of the switch may have been wrong, but I would rather have it now than not at all.

More Marley, but not at the expence of our heroes. It's Shingeki no Kyojin after all; not Yoroi no Kyojin

This arc has introduced the grey into the world of snk, I no longer see any one main character as bad or good because they all have the reasons with them, although perhaps some unjustifiable it still causes me to think about whether this person is a truly bad person or not. It really makes it quite difficult to favour or not favour people, however I do find that it makes it a lot more interesting.

I love these chapters, I really like the depth isayama is going for the viewers to know that this war isn't black and white and it really shines light on the complications of war and who really is the victims of not only war but also being the victims of a manipulative government.

I think this was a very powerful chapter, it had a lot of revelations and hints about the near future events. It is more clear than ever that the clash with the Paradis people is coming very soon. I am not sure how much more of RBA and Marcel heading towards the wall are we going to see though.

I can't shake the feeling that the "Tybur" family is connected to both the Tiber river (i.e. the fertile crescent--Garden of Eden imagery galore!) and Thor's hammer. Isayama likes to pull from both biblical sources and Norse sources for his world-building and I'm curious what's going on with this name.

this might have been my favorite marley chapter (which still isn't saying much but there you have it)

Seeing as I love the Walldians and Warriors equally, I think it's fair to give the Marely side attention. How can we have a dazzling final battle with no build up, including parallels and foreshadowing in this arc? Worse comes to worse I'm sure Isayama would just add the extra chapters he needed to in order to finish the story. Let's enjoy it while it's still being published.

Isayama is trying to make us think that there aren't good sides or bad sides. And he fails. We have already seen the perspective of Marley and they are clearly the villains. Not the Eldians of Paradis. The reasons why the mainland Eldians are supposed to hate Paradis Eldians are absurd. No real life social group/ethnicity is that stupid to believe what mainland Eldians believe. Or what they do to other Eldians.

As usual with every first chapter of an SnK Volume, this chapter was kind of boring, but we did learn about the ninth titan and the family thats been in possession of it. Also, seeing all 6 of Marley's titans on the battle field at once is interesting.

I think this volume will focus on the build-up to the reveal of Amputee-Kun in the present day, whilst also showing the road to Trost from RBA's perspective, which will be awesome

The perspective change felt rushed. I wish everything about the inital time-skip to the ocean had been handled differently. We got no closure whatsoever on so many important happenings and character developments re: serumbowl and basement, and that really frustrates me. The second - 3 year - just rubbed salt in the wound. I want to enjoy the Marley arc, I really do, but this just frustrates me a lot.

Snk? More like Attack on Game of Thrones.

I really do like the perspective of the warriors and as interesting as it is, I just can't get myself attached to the characters, and that makes it tiresome for me. At the beginning I was hopeful, but so far the only Warriors I can relate to are Pieck and Falco and even that's a thin line. I am eager to see them interacting with the main cast though!

This chapter in particular was great. There's so much subtlety in every action and foreshadowing of things to come. We got a lot of interesting info (the Tybur family, 9th titan, shifter memories, TONS of Reiner background, and Porco feels ahhhhh), and also saw how the warriors are operating under the stress that Marley is putting upon them. I especially loved the Zeke's tea meeting. Zeke's aware that they're being monitored and is able to subtely warn the others, who all get it except Porco, and Reiner then saves him from saying something dissident about the Tybur family and possibly Marley. The interactions of the characters are wonderfully done, with a lot of side glances and small details to pick up on. I think Isayama's character development and world building abilities are shining so brightly in this arc. And I can't get enough of the warriors, new or old. Overall, this is swiftly becoming one of my favorite arcs so far. Also please Isayama, stop torturing Reiner, give the poor man a break ;-; My heart can't handle anymore....

Less flashback plz

I just want to find out if Amputee-kun is Eren that's all I freaking want Isa.

I don't want to spend the entire rest of this arc with Marley, but I think it would be cool to first be reintroduced to the main cast through the new character's eyes. Of course, then we'll need to see things from the main cast's perspective again and find out what they've been up to this whole time

Love the new memes. =P thanks pieck and zeke

to be honest, i expected the 9th titan's reveal to be more epic art-wise

I think I am now more on the side of the "Warriors" than the main cast on Paradis and this thinking of mine is keeping me awake at night. I hate Isayama for this because now his "there's not bad or good side in the story" statement hit me in the face. Also fuck I have the need to hug smol RBA and know finally seeing their backstory and situation withe all the hometown and warrior thing was all I was asking for so I am loving this Marley arc but at the same time I wanna see the main cast so badly.

I want to see amputee Kuns plan.

Poor baby Armin is the god of destruction no soft boy :(

I want to learn more of Bertolt's backstory... He's my fav next to Reiner and we know next to nothing on his backstory and motivations.

There won't be an invasion of the island. The islanders will invade, instead.

Knowing each titan's function is good. But I feel isayama could have used the page more efficiently, like not drawing large, single-panel images of titans. I feel it's kinda wasteful to use up your pages that way with not so dense information given out.

Confrontation between Warriors and SC will be super interesting but I'm kind of apprehensive about actually seeing it. It can easily turn into another serumbowl since we don't have clear enemies and everything is relative.

i feel isayama is just making some poor decisions in an attempt to make reiner more likable and while the new perspective is interesting it was introduced far too late in the game

I do find this arc interesting and I would be okay with it going for a lot longer, however I'd hope for a few chapters which go back to the 104th's in between those chapters, just a little show of where they're at during all this, I miss those guys, its been nearly half a year since we had a chapter with them. I love reiner yo he needs to be protected at all costs. But i do wanna know more about berholdt and his family. Please i need some closure on my tol boy.

I can't wait to see Historia again and see what role she will play throughout the rest of the series. To be honest, I'm concerned for her because now that she is publicly known as the queen now, Marley might try to capture her if they find out. And what will Reiner do if that happens? Ymir is no longer around to protect her so now it is his turn to owe something to Ymir. I wonder if Historia will ever meet Porco, I hope she kicks his ass, I will never forgive him for ending such a beautiful relationship.

No one is talking about this but the part where Magath says something about Zeke saying unnecessary things in the meeting has me very intrigued. I wanna know what he means, I'm overall very interested in the role Magath may play in the story. Looks like he is the only one suspecting Zeke at the moment. These chapters have been interesting and I'm in no hurry to get back to most of the main cast, but I would like to see Jean again soon. And Armin.

You know, this was a pretty boring chapter, all things considered. However, I did enjoy seeing Gabi look a bit more "human" for at least a couple of minutes and hope the Falco vs. Gabi bit isn't drawn out for too long (I feel it could get tiresome after a while). Reiner's father honestly surprised me; I didn't think we'd get to see him at all/that Reiner would even be aware of who he was, and yet...we got his perspective and I could not have been happier with what we got. Poor Reiner, but considering his scheming selfish mother (who may also be pretty delusional), it seems fitting.

Pieck and chubby cheeks baby Bertl are the only good things in this depressing arc

Reading Isayama's interview about wanting to change perspective to blur the line between hero and villain made this arc less jarring to me. However, I really want to go back to the main cast. Also, the basement reveal ironically made the series less epic in my eyes. Mainly because the idea of a war

AND FINALLY

As expected of poll-chan, excellent questions!

I enjoy these polls and i have nothing else to say

Come back Momtaku!

Blink Reads Oathbringer - Chapters 13-16

Chapter Thirteen – Chaperone

I’d be tempted by a balcony too, Shallan, especially one bound to have a great view.

It’d be good for Shallan to be able to Lightweave herself into Veil without needing sketches beforehand. It’s a good limitation to have on her powers, especially at first, but she’s going to need more flexibility.

Thank the Heralds that Sebarial and Palona are looking out for you to make sure that you do things like eat. You’re the type that gets submerged in your art or whatever you’re doing and somehow ignores the body’s pleas for sustenance.

…that’s not Palona.

He’s so distracted upon seeing her that he stumbles – what happened to your coordination, Kholin? [cackles] But he “didn’t even have the decency to blush” – yeah, he was probably too busy appreciating-

You did invite him in.

Oh hello little tidbits – “born under the sign of the nine”? Wait, isn’t nine the bad number in Vorin theology? That… does not assuage my worries for you in the slightest. At least having a birthmark is benign, and dear lord, is that an attempt to invite her into your rooms while you’re half-dressed? Adolin. Propriety, young man!

Dopey grin is canon.

‘Ash’s eyes’ – is that a new swearing-by-the-Heralds, or one we’ve heard before?

‘She’d traveled to the ancient city of the Knights Radiant, but compared to Adolin’s affection, all the sights of Urithiru were dun spheres.’ Be still my shipper heart

Plopping right down onto the floor with all their food, it’s such a comfortable atmosphere!

Shallan, I know you have new detail to add to your fap material, but later, okay?

Oh now he starts blushing and worrying about propriety. Now that his brain’s caught up with the rest of him, the Alethi Sensibilities are coming out.

SHALLAN. wOW girl, you are thirsty. (I don’t think he’d mind)

‘Fake it ‘til you make it’ really does help, Shallan, at least it did/does so for me. Glad to see you’re reaping the benefits – enough to have it recognized by others!

Oh no, oh nooo, she’s spiraling again…

I don’t think he entirely believed that answer.

“A Shallanspren.” Pretty much, yeah. omg Adolin don’t poke poor Pattern. Das rude. I’m imagining his fractals going all spiky in annoyance.

“Inappropriate? Such as… dividing by zero?” Pattern you are amazing

I’m so happy that she can find happiness, be happy, content, able to revel in this sort of little moment that can never be captured. Shallan needs little moments like this in her life, spots of brightness to hold onto when the dark feels like it’s overwhelming

Come on, Shallan, come on, try the men’s food, you know you want to-!

Well. Adolin likes spicy-as-fuck dishes, confirmed.

PATTERN OH MY G O D

“accidentally” pATTERN that’s not how it works and fucking hell, I’m laughing too hard to be at my desk for this

“NO MATING.” Dead, I’m just dead, Send me off to the Farplane now

(he probably saw what you were imagining in your head earlier, Shallan. It’s your own fault, really)

!!! He noticed how she felt in the meeting and thought he’d help try to rectify that! Goddamn it you two have such a great dynamic

Thank you Brandosando for confirming again that Adolin is highly educated despite being illiterate - a future HIghprince has to know how to run their princedom, after all. Those ardents must have had fits trying to get him to sit down and pay attention, though (I’m still of the mind that he’s ADHD and nothing has popped up to contradict this so far)

Aaand there’s the pacing.

yOU TWO. Both wanting this to work but almost unsure of your own worth to each other, cradling that warmth of hope and spark of affection that’s maybe even growing to love

“You only ruined the wrong ones, you see.” that’s not the greatest appeal to his logic but damn if it doesn’t work. AND HE GOES IN FOR THE KISS-

“No mating!”

Pattern you are a gem

Chapter Fourteen - Squires Can’t Capture

‘They were playing cards.’ Yeaaaaaah, they must have escaped Odium’s influence somehow. But how?

‘What in Damnation’s depths?’ another good swear to remember!

Workform, then.

I flip the page and FUCKING HELL I thought I was tossed into a Cthulu or White Wolf Black Spiral Dancers sourcebook for a moment before the details resolved themselves out of the greater picture.

‘Shallan’s Sketchbook - Corridor’? ....dude. That. Shallan. Shallan. That is not at all like the style we saw you use in previous books. That is a Coping Sketch.

We were definitely wrong about how the Everstorm would hit the parshmen, at least for right now. These aren’t Voidbringers - or at least they’re not mindless, probably not controlled either? What is going on

Wait- was that a spren?

Best option, Kaladin. Good choice.

(I think.)

Chapter Fifteen - Brightness Radiant

So the second body was found in the same area as well as being the same manner of murder? I can’t remember if that area ‘belonged’ to one of the Highprinces or not

The fidgeting with the ball only enhances/reinforces my ADHD headcanon for him

I know they’re (supposedly) looking at all the options, but that’s not terribly convincing, Adolin. [winces] And while he’s right, Shallan, he just has information you don’t. Damning information.

Oooo, Shallan’s going to investigate, isn’t she. Veil time? Veil time?

Oh no Adolin what are you going to say, are- are you actually working yourself up to tell her?

...maybe. Toeing the cultural boundaries is certainly something to be unsure of especially for Vorins, but... perhaps.

(Blame him, Shallan. You’re going to be tasting spice for days.)

Ohhhh no no no, this is bringing up things she’s been trying to repress even though she can’t, Adolin come on, use that uncanny insight of yours-!

The snark would be funny if it were actually playful instead of a deflecting tactic.

[winces] Shallan, I know you’re fighting your PTSD right now, but that thought was really classist.

[buries face in hands] Adolin this is not a good time, I know you’re excited, you want to share this with her and your mind is set, but Shallan is not up for this right now. This could trigger a full on panic attack.

That is... a way to cope. Fake it til you make it. And it’s another personality inside her, she’s just strengthening it, bringing it to the forefront. But she’s once again avoiding facing the issue - because if she faces it she’ll shatter.

(They’re opposites in that way - Adolin facing the problem directly, Shallan deflecting. Very firebender vs waterbender mentality.)

Oh, Pattern.

This is going to bottle up inside until she breaks. Again.

...can he tell the difference, I wonder? She’s still Shallan, but... a different aspect of Shallan.

HAH, that little shove! Oh, I’m flashing back to kung fu practice years ago...

[SNORTS] Zahel, they know you too well. (If you’d ever tried that with Vivenna, she would not be having it.)

He’s been doing this since he was six, Shallan, cut him a little slack. He’s internalized the ‘mysticism’ and it makes sense on a deep level to him, at least.

He’s right about the unlearning, Shallan. Just trust him.

But don’t cut him any slack for the chicken.

part of it might be from being a duelist but I swear that part of it is more

“She knew that passion - she’d felt what it was to be alive with interest, to be consumed by something so fully that you lost yourself to the wonder of it. For her it was art, but watching him, she thought that the two of them weren’t so different.” - @heliokrantor LOOK LOOK WE WROTE ALMOST THIS E X A C T THING IN ‘BEFORE THE DUEL’ . Just. an entire fic of it. [highfives] Fuckyeah.

And at the end, she finds peace.

Chapter Sixteen - Wrapped Three Times

So. Does that make the Honorblades Splinters of Honor?

TELL US ABOUT THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PLATE, STORMFATHER. At least what Oathlevel a Radiant can get/materialize/whatever it at!

Frightened? The Stormfather can feel fear? On the sort of level that a human/Parshendi/mortal can feel emotion?

At least Navani is staying occupied by rolling up her sleeves and taking on civil engineering projects. (They’ll certainly need it.) I’d thought she was a conceptual mechanical engineer, but apparently her interests are broader than just that!

Dalinar is being v e r y careful about the amount of unbridled power he allows himself, and after seeing the flashbacks I can only think thank god.

Did Stormfather just confirm that he was a Cognitive Shadow, or was that pure metaphor?

Is... is this guard giving Dalinar shit for not obeying his own directives? Dude, you have steel-plated balls.

....are you one of Lopen’s ‘cousins’.

A watch! How common are those? Probably not at all, but how did Nanavi get it? Was she the one who managed to engineer a clock down to watch-size?

Oooof, that heresy is hitting you in unexpected ways. Even your own swordmaster ardents don’t want much to do with you anymore.

And then, of course, there’s Zahel. Hi Vasheeeeer. You gonna reveal yourself anytime during this series?

Please continue confusing the Rosharans with your Nalthian turns of phrase. It’s vastly entertaining.

wrESTLING? I. Well. Okay then. Barechested, tight-pantsed wrestling it is, then. ‘Vehah match’, note to remember what that’s called.

I wonder, if you hadn’t stopped reaching for the Thrill, would you have been able to grasp it? Or does the Nahel bond prevent it from taking hold?

OH OH STORMLIGHT. YES. DO THE THING DALINAR DO THE THING BREATHE THE LIGHT

Or not. Fair fight, that’s respectable.

You were enjoying the sight Navani, don’t try to say otherwise.

‘GEMHEART’ AS AN ENDEARMENT. AAAAAAAHHHHH. It's like telling one "not only are you the greatest and most beautiful of gems, one who holds the light of my life, but also I would fight armies and chasmfiends for you". I love it. Give me more of this.

Three monarchs for the Iri - two kings and a queen. Are they joint rulers? Poly? Or do they all rule over separate parts of Iri? I’m inclined to think the latter since apparently it’s only the queen that has influence over foreign policy.

Ooo, are you going to try to bully your ardents into speaking with you, Dal?

“I was merely one in a long line of idiots given the ability to kill people too easily. Well at least you can recognise and admit that.

Navani, you should know by now that it’s easier for the men of your family to think when they’re in motion. All of them, including Dalinar.

“Alethkar has not been relevant in the world since the Sunmaker’s fall.” Yeaaaah, you’ve all been warring amongst yourselves in your divided princedoms - you’ve not even been a real kingdom and therefore a power on the world scale up until the unification, and then after Gavilar dies you took all your Highprinces over to fight another, rather pointless war. It’s no wonder the rest of the world won’t leap when you call.

Oooo, shit, all of Iri-Rira is still salty over the Alethi getting Adolin’s Plate? Damn.

hello reference for how to wear takama. I’m keeping you too.

“You sound like your niece!” “I’ll take that as a compliment.” 10/10 here for Dalinar questioning his faith while still keeping faith

!!!! Conscious surgebinding! There’s Adhesion, but we still need to know what on Roshar Tension does. I’m still drawing a blank on that one. Sanderson please don’t keep us in the dark for too long on this one.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he heard he wife’s name

Evi

(your brother’s death wasn’t what broke you. it was hers. and now, with your spren filling the cracks in your soul, you’re starting to remember)

LOT Chat Recap

So the chat went very well! I have grouped the subjects into thematic categories for everyone's ease.

A few up-front things for everyone:

Scheduling

Everyone will have two more weeks to revise their drafts or send in comments. Writers, please send me the edits you want me to make to your episode outline, which will be posted to the outline doc; you can also start drafting your final episode. If writers have any further questions about your episode, send in submissions or asks and they can be discussed by the group on this page; I am also always available to talk by messenger. Readers, please send in your comments and questions on episodes. I will be posting "let's talk about these three episodes" posts every day for the next week so that people can submit specific comments about those episodes if they have any additional comments to make.

We will have another chat on Saturday June 24 at 1PM EST (unless people prefer a different time)

Fully written episodes will then be due on Friday, July 28. We will then have two weeks of editing and proof-reading, with the goal of posting the complete season to Ao3 by August 15.

Format

As people are welcome to start drafting their episodes ASAP, we need to decide on format. I will post a separate post in regards to this question with a poll.

Recap

Queen B

We're using the "Queen of Bialya with mind control powers" version, with an amulet instead of "pheromones" because it corresponds with Amaya's symbolism-wise; Queen B is from 2016

Motive: she's sensitive about the fact that she's illegitimately in power, which is why she isn't in Bialya

Legends could use in the Roman Republic episode where she's pretending to be a Queen; that’s why she has a feud with Mari, who has been helping undermine her power base by helping prove that she's not legit; she wants the spear so she's legitimately the queen of Bialya, which is why she joins the Legion (also because messing with Amaya will interfere with Mari)

Femme fatale style villain, which would make the scene in episode 16 where instead of seducing/convincing/mind controlling the guard, she just punches him, SO MUCH FUNNIER (like she saunters up, you think she's gonna use her powers, she smiles all seductive - and WHAM)

We need to pump up her role in the various episodes - she can take Merlyn's place as the "person who snarks with Darkh"

Amaya

Needs more development of her plot where she’s thinking about her future and trying to think of whether she should change it or not

Episode 10: Amaya and Queen B fight - Queen B hints at things, building up Amaya’s curiosity

Episode 13: Queen B has more revelations for Amaya, telling actual facts

Amaya is thinking about changing: the destruction of her village and the fact that Mari grows up in the foster care system

That means we can have her start to angst about changing things in the Tudor episode (14) and New York (15); maybe a scene in 14 where she does research about her future secretly and then in 15 more debate about changing it, with the events of 15 inspiring her not to change it

that way we have a 5-part arc for Amaya about it

and her later confrontations with Queen B in 18 and in Doomworld work stronger because of it because Queen B’s taunts don’t work as well any more

Compass

They pick it up in Episode 8 from Constantine in return for helping with the Crusade; Lily gets brought in to use her micro-tech knowledge to amp it up but really because Stein wants her around, but otherwise I think we can limit the references to it to "so Gideon says the compass goes to Y time period" – but it should be referenced consistently after Episode 8

Lily first appears in Episode 7 just like in canon, possible reference to present day Clarissa

Lily first gets picked up in episode 15, and ends up having her fight with Stein about him hiding her aberration status in episode 15 so that 16 starts with them still fighting; she can just be brought in as an "expert" in technology to help calibrate the compass, not because she’s an aberration – Rip can reveal it to her because he’s a Time Master and objects

Relationship with Stein: he’s still a workaholic, tries to over-interfere with her academics, distant but proud of her accomplishments and they bonded over their intelligence, he’s a good mentor figure; she’s pissed off that he didn't tell her about the aberration thing - it makes her feel like he didn't trust her, and she presumably had to fight HARD to get to a position of academic achievement where she felt he respected her instead of humoring her because she's his beloved daughter; a case of "daddy knows best" when it comes to the aberration issues. And she can be like "this is just like when you came to my dissertation defense!" It also explains why she forgives him in episode 16: she's kind of used to him being a bit of an oblivious tactless dumbass

Oculus – Spear

The Oculus' destruction and the scattering of the spear pieces are somehow connected – they were using the spear to power the Oculus; when it exploded, they scattered

as a Time Master, Rip knows where to find them – the piece he finds in the time loop with the 81 people is one of the pieces from the Oculus; the pieces want to get back together and are powered up by one of them being used

they don’t whisper and cannot be used to guide to each other – they don’t work by “wishes” per se, they just allow people to make changes to the timeline (good luck in succeeding in changing history to your will); only the spear together can you “wish” a new world into existence

The spear pieces weren’t “always there” – they were scattered there

Re-work the pilot so that the piece Rip gets is from the Oculus and maybe we can scatter the information that they had been powering the Oculus with the spear into episode 4 (Eo's explanation) and episode 8 (Constantine can do a bit of an info dump, he's a magical character)

Len

Len ends up just hovering in the background in a lot of the episodes and he never seems to get any lines that talk about his bitterness/resentment, so we need to use him more.

He is connected to the Oculus and that's why putting the spear back together = we see him more

Len’s appearance guide:

First few episodes, we have ONLY "visuals" of Len, just momentary glimpses, through episode 5, but nothing more - no comments, just blink-and-he's-gone.

Episode 3 is our first appearance of blink-and-miss-him - thematically appropriate since we're also bringing in Amaya

More blink-and-miss appearance in the next two episodes

We have the "funeral" episode as the turning point between “blink and gone” and “talking” next episode

Then in episode 6 we have our first appear-and-talk Len, the big moment where Mick is taken aback and is surprise (like in canon, where Mick has to give a gruff "You're not real"). But at that point, he's still only showing up briefly.

Len starts showing up more as the episodes go by; episode 6 through 10 we have him saying things TO Mick and Mick trying (and failing) to ignore him

Episode 10 being the episode where he's talking enough with Mick that the others notice

Episode 11 they test Mick for hallucinations, but Len's still there

Episode 12 Len doesn't do much, but the audience finds out he's real

Then from episode 13 to 16, Len should really be written as a full member of the cast just one that no one else can hear but Mick.

In Episode 14 L!Len steals the piece while O!Len is around, which is when O!Len realizes for the first time that Legion!Len is around; we could have a scene with O!Len asking Gideon "WTF was that"

NOTE: once Len is a full cast member, he can have scenes by himself, he doesn't always have to be tied to Mick or to another cast member, but before that, when he's just a hallucination, he shouldn't appear solo

Episode 16, he argues with Mick and leaves to go with the Legion!Len, who he discovers can also see him

Episode 17 is the episode where he helps Legion!Len fight the Legion

Episode 18 O!Len comes back and re-joins Mick's side, but isn't able to convince him not to go with Legion!Len in episode 19

Episode 20, Mick discovers Len is real

Episode 22, everyone else does and Len gets resurrected

Bambi

Decision made that Bambi survives; Pan will fix the details

Because Bambi survive in episode 2, there will be a line in the very end of the finale, when they crash land in LA and there are dinos there, just as the scene is fading to black we get a Ray voice-over going "wait...Bambi?!"

because that would be A, hilarious and B, a good tie-in to show that time is broken and they didn't land in a different part of the multiverse

Pencil

It's a convenient device that Nate would have around that the audience won't immediately go "ah-ha! mysterious item gets mentioned! will be important!"; him waving around the pencil in the pilot is a nice, easy way to bring it into the audience's view - but not emphasize it

It's his "lucky" pencil that he only uses for important exams; think of the kid who has a pencil box where he lovingly keeps that ONE PENCIL that he passed a test with and he uses it ONLY for tests

Nate inadvertently creates his own closed time loop: the spear is scattered through time and appears in Nate’s possession, which he thinks is a gift from his grandfather – it immunizes him from the changes in time (Nate tells his grandfather "you gave me your lucky pencil"; his grandfather who does not' have a lucky pencil gets weird about it then grabs a random pencil from the mission ( the spear piece) and gives that to young!Nate thereby completing the circle)

The JSA is there on a legitimate mission that is being messed up by the spear piece being there but since they're IN the time period, they don't realizes it's being messed with; the Legends, however, realize something is wrong and figure out that those weird glowing sticks might be involved and go looking but also try to help fix the original mission, which they mess up and show how unprofessional they are; however, in the end, they manage to help the JSA complete their mission and in the process, Henry grabs the spear piece he doesn't know it's a spear piece because the legends never shared that info

He takes the pencil because Nate told him he gave him his lucky pencil and Henry didn't have one but he doesn't want to disappoint his grandson so he picks one up going "this is a good memento of a really weird mission" and the Legends realize that that's how Nate got the spear piece in the first place it plays on the nature of time travel

the pencil is a closed time loop - it's a really nice way to play with time travel without being too cliche - it's the "being your own grandfather" trope but funny

the fact that we have two "time loops" in the early episodes - but not really in the later ones - could be a symptom of the timeline freeing itself from the "set" history of the Time Masters

which would be really cool thematically, with the Legends being set up by their various experiences in season 2 to actually start /deliberately changing history/ in season 3

Nate

Nate's hemophilia resolved with Gideon just saving his life, but doesn't fix his hemophilia

would be really funny to have Nate cameo in Doomworld by literally doing the same thing he does in the pilot - breaking into the mayor's office and babbling about history something. except this time it's Darkh; but then darhk would kill him, but it'd be undone by the end of Doomworld

Ray breaking his suit

The full sequence is episode 6 (damage) episode 7 (overshadowed by Invasion) episode 8 (breaks) episode 9 (unsuccessful repair; acknowledge that he won’t be able to use it) episode 10 (can't use it all; trying new personas).

Because it's his screwing up in episode 6 that causes it, but it doesn't fully break it. and he's not a big player using his suit in Invasion, which we're mostly leaving alone

In Episode 9, he’s trying to put the suit back together but has only gotten parts of it to work; he shrinks due to an error and is worried he won’t be able to get big again – should have a moment at the end of the episode where Ray acknowledges he won’t fix it any time soon and realizing he needs to try to be a hero in a different way to set up the episode 10 montage

Ray montage

in terms of visuals, the scene should probably focus on Ray in the center, with whoever commenting doing so from off-screen

Ray tries to give himself powers; "I'm going to Captain America myself" "Remember how that went for Bruce Banner?" - a good way to point out that the Marvel universe are comics in DC

dress him in the GL outfit and he's explaining to someone that "so it'll be based around this ring -" "won't work"

dress him as the Blue Beetle for a second before he goes "naaaaah"

booster gold and Gideon advises against

We should have him in a superman costume at one point but with no "s" and he's saying "I dunno, maybe if something went in the middle?" (that is also a Powergirl reference - the superman outfit but the "s" was a chest-window or the "atom" LOT symbol, and then you have someone (Jax?) off-screen going "no, man, no")

possibly one piece outfit, Naruto outfit - Mick offscreen just goes "NO, haircut"

Vikings

Jax says Stein is his dad, possibly a mentor instead? Or a specific reference to multi-cultural Vikings

the changing vs. preserving history argument

They are split up as sara, ray, amaya for preserve and mick, jax, stein for change, but by the end of episode 13, it ends up as mick, jax, stein, amaya vs. sara, ray, rip once rip's brainwashing is removed and amaya hears about her future from queen b

Cameos

Jason Blood in the background for a few episodes

I think the references to Poison Ivy not returning their calls and then having a discussion of Poison Ivy in Doomworld worked really well using Kendra three times was also really great

the Lanterns should also be foreshadowed more, if they're going to appear (one reference to the Lanterns in our rewritten Invasion, so if we have maybe one more somewhere, it'd be enough)

References to the other rogues: both in the future and mick, len, and lisa talking about them

Need to fill in reference in filler episode (Selina Kyle? Someone else?)

Trauma

Should have some scenes dealing with the trauma Ray went through while surviving in the cretaceous period and dealing with the effects Rip's brainwashing had - both characters would try to deny it, powering through until they break (Ray when his suit breaks for good in episode 10 - he mentions that he feels empty without his suit and all alone like he did in the Cretaceous period)

Rip and Mick should definitely have a moment to discuss brainwashing, if possible

Ray's suit is some symbolism for his psychological journey

Episode 3

Possible move to D Day or using the 1942 occupation of the south of France because of the Allied invasion of Morocco

Episode 10

Stein goes undercover as a Brit as well, and that's how they find out that the Legion are influencing the Brits; That way he gets stuck on the British ship and can't form Firestorm until the climatic battle moment

episode 8

Zatanna and Madame Xanadu should appear briefly in the beginning (wild goose chase montage when they’re trying to hire someone other than Constantine)

The organization should be 1, Rip being chased; 2, intro sequence; 3, Constantine sequence with Zed getting the vision; 4, they go after Rip and I think 4, the feudal Japan sequence, should be longer, with more chasing and action sequences, as well as a scene where the Legends lose Rip to the Legion because Ray’s suit breaks and where Rip thinks Eobard is friendly before realizing he’s not;

needs a scene where the Legends return to Constantine and he offers them the compass in exchange for help with the Crusade, THEN intersperse the Rip interrogation with the Legends defeating the Crusade

Psalm 119 SimHebrew

This is another test of SimHebrew to see if I can reconstruct the Hebrew verse numbers from the Latin verse.

Psalms 119

f o l l o w y o u r t r e a s u r e p a r t 1

It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting” - Paul Coelho

When I think of my time in California, I think of Fuchsia coloured sunsets, dancing beneath the rolling hills in the carnival, listening to some existential electronic in the moonlight. It was dreamy. It was also all born out of a dream, my dream.

A special friend of mine sent me The Alchemist as a birthday gift. It was one of those books that popped up in my scope a lot, and I knew I had to read it. Even whilst on this trip, I saw the book being read by the girl next to me on the plane. Something was telling me to read this book.

As I read it, I was overwhelmed with joy, inspiration, and connection. For those of you who have read it, it’s a beautiful tale about following your Personal Legend to find your treasure. I felt like I had just undergone a similar adventure which certainly amplified my feelings towards the novel. And like the story, it all began with a dream.

Living a “normal” life is hard for me. Routines are impossible to keep up with my up-and-down personality and passion driven lifestyle. This summer, I was put to a test where I took a chance on a dream. Instead of doing what others expected of me, I pursued something that was calling me with a bit of Beginners Luck. It took a while to admit, but I was generally unhappy with my jobs and my life at the time. It is as if every cell of me body resists doing what I am doing, and sometimes even portrayed symptoms of sickness. I needed change.

Flexibility is a central pillar in my life. I need it. I crave change. I look forward to the unknown turns of life. I embrace uncertainty. I get tired of the ordinary very easily and want more. I used to think something was wrong with me and I am sure many people still think this too. But I enjoy this aspect of myself very much. I may not be built for the modern world but I am certainly wired for adventure. So when my life was not allowing the flexibility I needed, it began to fall apart in the most perfect way possible.

One morning in June, I woke up feeling blissful and energetic. I had just come back from attending a music festival in California and had simply had a wonderful time there. The palms trees and Ferris Wheel gave off a Coachella vibe, and the sunshine felt good on my skin. I did not know anyone there, but I felt strangely connected to the experience. That wave of a feeling, that “I am exactly where I am supposed to be”, took over me and I danced and I smile and I waved back to the universe in complete awe.

“Dreams are the language of God”

It took me a few minutes to realized that that was just a dream. It felt so much like it had happened! I remember going through the next few days recalling that I went to an American music festival just a little while ago, still feeling stoked and ready to tell everyone. But this was not true. It saddened me that the highlight of my summer was not even real.

In reality, I was feeling criminal serving $13 smoothies to people whom I felt I was robbing. I recall my manager telling me to put only three small strawberries in the smoothies, and to make smaller portions of pretty much everything I touched. I tried to avoid eye contact because of how ashamed I was. It is not even a question of being micro-managed (which I was), it was an issue of not feeling aligned with the work I was doing. I guess the idea of working at an Organic food and smoothie shop appealed to me more than the actual work I was doing. I thought about my dream again, but went back to work.

Inevitably, the dream inquiry began. I believe in dreams. I believe they hold deep intrinsic meanings to each of us, those of which can be realized. They carry messages that we are often unable to see in our day-today lives and with a little analysis, can reveal a lot. I thought about this dream all the time. It was like my little escape from my soul-sucking jobs and my general dissatisfaction with my life at the time. I wanted to do something crazy. I was bored. As a radical, I needed to be raddled, and I hadn’t been shaken up in a while. I guess this dream did just that.

Even though it had not happened, it felt part of me because of how it left me feeling whole and completely blissful. I developed a wanderlust towards the dream and felt obligated to analyze it to find out its true meaning. I didn’t have to search much. I remembered of Hard summer, the festival I had dreamed of going to since I was 16 years old held outside LA in California. I had glanced at the line up earlier this year and was drawn. The concrete grounds which appeared in the dream matched last year’s venue at the raceway I thought. Destructo, DJ and CEO of Hard, always seems to gather the trend setters, American heros and international royalty of electronic music.

And what sets my soul on fire? A good festival.

“Well, then, why should I listen to my heart?”

“Because you will never again be able to keep it quiet”.

The obsession came next. My job at the smoothie shop had blocked off one weekend for book offs that summer and of course, it was the weekend of the festival. My other job, which was serving at a corporate restaurant, had been draining my soul but filling my bank account. I began fanaticizing an Houdini-like escape. I conceptualized calling in sick and secretly going, perhaps not telling ANYBODY. The idea got me excited. I would spend hours looking at flights and listening to all the artists. I even joined the HARD summer Facebook page and began to connect with potential people I could camp with. But every time, I would stop myself in the tracks and shut it all down. How could I even go? I have a job and I committed to working full time all summer. My dream was put aside.

I went into work one morning and the sickness symptoms were dominating me. At the time, I thought I was coming down with a flu. I told my manager who proceeded by making me feel guilty. I soon realized I needed to go home. Something inside me was saying “get the hell out of there”. So I tried my best to communicate this nicely to my manager, and she mocked me, “What are you pmsing or something?”, she responded. Now I was angry. I told her I was leaving and she continued leading the guilt train, “You’re not going home, you need to get me a note!”, she said as I packed my things.

I knew I didn’t need to see a doctor and that I would be wasting tax payers dollars on something not urgent at all. As soon as I walked out of work, I felt much better. Odd, I thought. I decided to go to the doctor nonetheless just to prove to her I was being honest. The wait was 3 hours. F this, I thought. So I went back into my work and told her the wait time assuming she would say forget it. But no, she insisted I go to the hospital. “If you are actually sick maybe you should go to the hospital. I need a note today”, She said. This made my blood boil. I looked at her in the eyes and walked out without replying. I knew I would never work for this lady again.

I did go to that doctor and I did get that note. But In between something marvelous happened. I had a revelation. If I no longer have this job, I could follow my dream to California. I walked to the library and checked out the flights. The path was paved, I just had to walk down it.

That evening I sent my employer a copy of my doctor’s note and told her I would not be returning to work for her. I wondered if I should go into more detail, but decided to keep it short. Then I booked my flights.

“When you want something all the universe conspires to help you achieve it”

I truly believe that all of this fell apart for me to be able to realize this dream. The universe knew my deepest desires and it created the perfect opportunity for me to leave what was holding me back. Why would I have let a minimum wage job that made me feel ashamed control my summer plans and shut down my dreams? Why would I let living a life that did not totally fulfill me be okay?

Now I am thankful my manager was uncompassionate because if she was not, I would have never quit on the spot like that. I would have felt guilty and ignored my dream. I am thankful I felt sick doing something I hated because it forced me out of that place. Again, I have learnt to trust how I feel. There are forces out there much stronger than you and when you truly want something, a road will be paved.

“People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel they don’t deserve them”.

Once I gave justice to my dreams, I could follow my Personal Legend to all of the beautiful places perfectly set out for me. Little did I know, this dream was just a tiny preview of the entirety of what was to come. Oh the treasure I would soon find…

Big Charlie

BIG CHARLIE-

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

ON VIDEO- [Past links- verses below]

.Why are we hated?

.Gap Theory?

.Jacob wrestles

.no ‘if’s’

.Joseph

.Last Adam

.Noah

.The 1st resurrection

.I tell the story of not putting on my Cross when I left the house. In the past when this happens- I find it strange that when I run into my friends- I don’t tell them ‘I forgot my Cross’ but at times they of their own accord give me one. On the video I tell that story and show you the Cross little Charlie gave me on this day. You’ll notice when I pull out the Cross Little Charlie gave me- I do have another one on. Yes- we went to another friend’s house before I made the video- and one of the girls- who I have known for years- got up and walked over- and yes- gave me a Cross necklace she had. So I was given 2 Crosses this day [I don’t tell them ‘I forgot to put on my Cross’- they seem to know- not be seeing- I always have it under the shirt].

NEW- I ran into Andy and Charlie today- I’ve known ‘Big’ Charlie for many years- he has gone thru some hard times- like many of my friends.

I decided to do a video- and you get to hear some of the wisdom my friend has gleaned thru the years.

If I had time- I would have tried to elaborate a bit on some of the points.

Tried to have maybe given a little more balance to some of the views.

But that’s ok- I think it was better for you to hear the things from Charlie’s perspective.

You do see how some of my friends identify with the characters in scripture- maybe in ways the average church goer has never thought about.

Jacob- Joseph- etc.

Some of the people in the bible were known for their cunning- conniving- and deceitful ways.

Yet- they were people God used- Charlie seems to have been identifying with these men of God.

My friends who have struggled with addiction- and have done these conniving things- yes- they hoped they would never relapse.

They don’t want to have the reputation of people that resort to these things [conniving- etc.]

Yet- over the years- some have found themselves back there again.

And many of their experiences when they get to the end of the rope- is to curse God and try to walk away.

Yet Charlie has learned that you can’t.

They too bare a cross- of being seen as someone who is no good.

Someone you can never trust.

They identify with the figures in the bible who also were rejected because of real character flaws.

We also see the Josephs [who Charlie brought up] who for no cause of their own- also wound up at the ‘wrong end of the stick’.

Yet these men learned mercy- grace- they saw that what others meant for evil ‘God meant for good’.

When I met Charlie and his son many years ago- I saw the calling of God on them.

Especially his son who we call ‘Little Charlie’.

I actually have some good talks with little Charlie these past few months.

Big Charlie’s brother is a minister- in the Reformed faith.

When I first spoke to them over the years- I realized how they saw the particular aspects of scripture- from this point of view.

Sovereignty- Predestination- God’s choosing of us.

And for those who have read my teachings for a while- I am not totally in disagreement with them.

But I also avoid the more stringent view of some of the classical Reformed thinkers.

All in all- I think this message was good- to be able to hear it straight from the mouth of a person who has gone thru many hard times in life.

God uses the meek of the earth to speak to us.

Today- hopefully- you will hear.

ADAM AND CHRIST- I thought I wrote on this before- but I can’t find it [search for Adam in my past teaching- too many]

So- I’ll teach it right now.

The New Testament refers to Jesus as the last Adam.

The apostle Paul teaches about this in Romans and Corinthians.

In Romans he says ‘as sin came into the world thru one man [Adam] so the free gift of righteousness comes to us thru Christ’-

Romans 5:19

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

In Context | Full Chapter | Other Translations

Paul also says [I copied the verse below]] that Eve was deceived and Adam was not deceived- when they sinned in the garden.

Ok- Then why did Adam sin- disobey God?

He loved the bride so much [Eve] that he willingly walked away from the presence of God- to be with his bride.

Jesus never sinned [I corrected that above too] but at the Cross- he bore the penalty of sin- which was separation from God for the sins of man.

Why did he do this?

Because he loved the bride- the church- and in doing this he ‘walked away’ from God's presence [in obedience- not disobedience] and he did this for the love of his bride- the church.

So- in a nutshell this is one way that Christ identifies as the last Adam.

There are other pictures/types as well- but this is what we spoke about on today’s video-

Here are a few verses on Adam and Christ [more below]

Romans 5:12

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Romans 5:15

But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

Romans 5:16

And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

NOTES [Corrections]

I debated about posting this video- because there are doctrinal ‘mistakes’ that my friend made.

But I decided to post it- and simply clarify those points.

1- Charlie does say ‘God broke his own law’- now- God never broke his law- but what I think my friend was referring to was Jesus becoming sin for us

2 Corinthians 5:21

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

It’s obviously not the same thing- but when Jesus took the sins of the world upon him- he was forsaken of God the Father- and was the substitute for us- Jesus indeed suffered the death of a sinner- though he never sinned.

Charlie talked about Adam and Eve- and I have mentioned some of what he brought up before- How Adam went into the rebellion against God- knowing what he was doing.

Eve was actually deceived 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

I do see a type- symbol of Christ in this.

Jesus loved the bride [us] so much- that he took the penalty of sin- was separated from God when he died for us- and he did this so he could ‘be with his wife’- meaning he did his so we could be redeemed.

2- I ‘subtly’ corrected this on video- Lucifer is called ‘son of the morning’ [Verse below] Jesus is the morning star.

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! Isaiah 14

Revelation 22:16

I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Charlie talked about Jesus as the second [Last] Adam- here’s some of my past teaching that relates-

[more past links- teachings]

On today’s video I shared from CCCF and some of the verses from the Mass.

The Church is made up of all believers- and there is a unity in the spirit that we all have- we have all been made to ‘drink’ from that fountain.

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. Cor. 12:13

The bible- and the creeds- teach us that Jesus died- was buried- and rose again.

1Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

1Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

But was that it?

No- he told us that he would ascend into heaven- and then the promise of the Father- the Holy Spirit- would come to the church.

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. Jn. 16:7

On the day of Pentecost it happened- the Spirit came to the church.

Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

Acts 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

Acts 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

The resurrection of Jesus was proof that the Father accepted the suffering of the Son- for the full satisfaction for the sins of man.

Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Jesus rose again- to die no more.

He has the power of an everlasting life.

Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. Heb. 7:16

He has given to us this same Spirit- that raised him from the dead.

Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

This is the guarantee that he will finish what he started in us- the full and final redemption of the purchased possession- which is us!

13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Eph. 1

We have eternal life now- and will share in his resurrection- both now- and at the final resurrection of the dead.

The apostle Paul teaches us this-

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Eph. 2

20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Phil.

When the early believers saw Jesus ascend to heaven- they were told he would come in ‘like manner- as you have seen him go’.

Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

Acts 1:10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

Acts 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

This is the hope of the church- that he will ‘come again- to judge the living and the dead- and his kingdom will have no end’.

On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures;

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead

he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

[Apostles and Nicene creed]

We have been born of the Spirit- the same Spirit that dwells in all of the church-

The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Jn. 3:8

God has deposited gifts in us- by this same Spirit.

4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

Cor. 12

Just like in the creation- the Spirit of God brought forth life.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

So he also works in us- to bring forth life-

We are ambassadors of Christ- who the apostle Paul refers to as ‘the Spirit’-

45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

Cor. 15

But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

Cor. 6:17

17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

2nd Cor. 3

How can that be?

Jesus is the anointed one- the Messiah.

He became man- suffered death- and was buried.

By the power of the Spirit he was raised back to life- and after he ascended to the right hand of God- he sent us the Spirit.

Acts 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

This Spirit testifies thru us-

But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost- Mk. 13:11

When we speak- it is our Father that speaks thru us-

For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. Matt. 10:20

We live- because he lived.

Being born of God- born of the Spirit- is a new kind of life- the life of God himself which was manifested thru Jesus-

John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

John 1:2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

We are really members of his Body- his church- and he is the head of this community- the Body of Christ-

7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Eph.

There are many mysteries in this kingdom- and it is often hard to articulate them-

4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

But there is a witness of the Spirit- that leads us into all truth-

But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 1st Jn. 2:20

Which transcends our human understanding-

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Rom. 11:33

As believers- we wait for the hope of the second coming

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Titus 2:13

We confess that Jesus died- was buried- and rose again.

We confess his bodily ascension to the right hand of God-

This is the faith of the church-

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. Jude 1:3

VERSES-

John 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

John 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

John 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Acts 9King James Version (KJV)

9 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.

15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
